SENIOR HIGH YOUTH GROUP -- "Come and See"
In the first chapter of John's Gospel, Jesus issued a simple invitation to the first disciples who wondered who He was and where He lived. Jesus said, "Come and see." Those two disciples accepted the invitation, spent time with Him, and came to believe that He was the long awaited Messiah.
We are excited to announce the creation of St. John's Senior High Youth Group! We will explore many critical questions this year about Jesus Christ and the Church. We invite all senior high youth to "Come and see."
When: Wednesday, October 22, 8:00 pm in the Youth Room
What We'll Do: We'll look at that first invitation of Jesus, and how that applies to the life of a Christian in high school. We will also take input on questions and issues that teens face today and other topics you would like to see covered in our youth meetings. See you there!
CIRCLE OF WOMEN We welcome women of all ages to our meeting Thursday, October 23, from 9:15 - 11:30 am. Our guest will be Amy Kuebelbeck, author of Waiting with Gabriel. Childcare available; suggested donation is $3.00. Please call Rita, 651-639-0291 to register your child.
